After ready pages and pages of vitriol the only thing I’ll say is that Adam presented his racing schedule (as all riders do) before he signed. Before he turned a wheel for Scunthorpe it was always known he had a meeting yesterday. Ok boys and girls you can get back to your bïtching now, but maybe try to think a little before you all slag off on a rider

Why haven’t Leicester chosen to ride on Friday evening? No clash and keeps all fans happy. They ludicrous choice of riding against the SON is stupid.

Wouldn't worry about it those complaining are those who want to stick the knife into speedway and it's organisers .

Choosing 2 riders who haven't ridden the track for 3 years instead of one who is racing it most weeks including twice in last 7 days and is track record holder.

Robert Simon or & Butler?

No Conspiracy theory, the facts are the Rob Godfrey allegedly said Adam Ellis was ill, when in fact according to the riders dad he knew all along that Adam Ellis was unavailable for this meeting due to other commitments, that in itself is bad enough but to have have come from the BSPL Chairman makes it even worse. Now the Teams for tomorrow ?.

Thought the SON was a two day event, both Saturday and Sunday.

Not a question for Ellis ask Godfrey.

Palin showing why he’s in the SoN squad at Belle Vue

The purpose of showing speedway on Eurosport is for them to show as many adverts as possible.

Might be a good time to clarify the format and some of the rules. Day 1 21 heats scoring 4, 3, 2, 0 under U 21 rider must ride in 1 heat Day 2 1st day scores are added to day 2 another 21 heats and the U 21 rider must take 1 ride. At the end of the 42nd heat the leading team go to the final(race 44). next best 2 teams go in race 43 to decide who gets to the final. The team who win the final win the title.(2nd and 3rd beat 1 and 4) Any starting offence warnings are not carried over from day 1 to day 2. U 21 riders are not allowed to replace riders excluded for a starting offence.

For me this should be a resignation offence for Godfrey, he has clearly lied to his clubs loyal supporters there's no way this man should be in charge of British Speedway. I will not be attending Scunthorpe Speedway again while this man is in charge of the sport. He's mugged off his own clubs supporters, he's mugged off Leicester fans and he's put the British Champion in an untenable position.

What else is new?

I think it will be poole glasgow final in the league anf the cup

Belle Vue should book Cook now for Kurtz so Peterborough can’t book him

Some promoters and fans (including members of this forum) complained that no facility (which meant an NL rider effectively with a 3 pt average) unfairly penalised their teams so the 'non-guest guest' rule was slipped into the rulebook a couple of years ago (with I think little fanfare) On the matter of Adam Ellis' "illness" I think that unless someone can demonstrate with a degree of certainty that Rob Godfrey claimed he was ill then I think it is time to move on.

Not the case I was there when the CofC told the Ref about the change in rider line up. The change was made by the Scunny TM not the ref.

Bit of a slap in face for fans of both Teams.Still that’s some Speedway Promoters for you.

Can't be a better time than tonight then

To be fair JTS I dont think there is too much 'anger' on here towards either Adam or the UK Promoters.. It's more resigned Mickey taking due to the fact that such things happen so regularly.. Riders clearly can't be in two places at once so the authorities should just explain why one is missing... And if any riders feels he has got misrepresented by that explanation then he should speak up with the real reason... That "let's make something up" culture has existed for far too long across the whole operating model, and unfortunately in todays 24/7 social media world, any clear evidence which clearly contradicts what is said is quickly put out to the world for all to see.. As you yourself have said several times.. The UK promoters cant even get a sponsor for their leagues after so many years of TV coverage.. No real surprise why that situation exists is there?

So... the organiser of your Speedway (and Speedway in the whole of the UK) has been outed as a liar! What do you think about that?

9pm kick off so fans can get back to attend?

Perhaps as, I assume the director of a company, he should be aware that the director of another company is telling lies about him in public. Or perhaps he'll just keep quiet about things and be complicit in the deceit and continue to take the coin. Instead of coming on here and having a go at the paying punters who have supported the club Adam has been a part of all year you should make him aware of the situation and maybe as a professional Speedway rider and British Champion he can release a statement? Angry, not especially, I've come to expect these kind of shenanigans now, that's why I'm making fun of the situation as it's all a bit of a joke isn't it... disappointed yes. Nobody comes out of this particularly well

Perhaps Adam should come out and say that somebody is telling lies about him being ill... otherwise he's just complicit in the deceit.

How about a mixture of both scoring systems?? Up to & including the semi finals it's all points scored during the meeting. Just those in the final are:- 1st - 25pts 2nd - 21 3rd - 19 4th - 18
